NELMA Partners with Forest Economic Advisors LLC (FEA) for Member Services2010-07-02
 

The NELMA Board of Directors is pleased to announce the latest member service available from the Association.   As approved at the May 14 meeting of the Board, NELMA has partnered with Forest Economic Advisors LLC (FEA) to provide two reports each month for distribution to our members, the Lumber Advisor and the Microeconomic Advisor.   Both detailed reports contain important lumber market and overall economic insight that should assist the Association membership in making day-to-day and longer term business decisions. 

FEA’s experts include Paul Jannke, well known by our Association members that have attended his lumber and economic forecast presentations at NELMA’s Spring Conventions and Fall Board of Directors Meetings for the past seven years.   As an added feature to the agreement between NELMA and FEA, individual company personnel may utilize FEA’s professional staff for specific one-on-one discussions and consultations.
 
These reports will be emailed to NELMA members on a monthly basis for viewing and downloading.   And look for the monthly reports to be added to the "Members Area" of the nelma.org website soon.  They are also available from FEA’s website (www.getFEA.com) via a secure client ID and password.   To access this part of the service, contact Brian P. Doyle at FEA by phone (978.496.6338) or email (bdoyle@getFEA.com) to set you up with the necessary login requirements.

Eastern White Pine VS. Radiata Pine. Learn about these two species in a side by side comparison. Who will be victorious?

 

Founded in 1933, the Northeastern Lumber Manufacturer's Association (NELMA) is one of seven lumber rules writing agencies in the U.S. accredited by the American Lumber Standard Committee (ALSC) to write grade rules that are certified as conforming to the American Softwood Lumber Standard PS20.  NELMA is the official author and administrator of the grading rules for Eastern White Pine, in particular.

In addition to the quality control inspection audits we conduct at lumber manufacturers to ensure that on-grade Eastern White Pine products are meeting the needs of consumers, NELMA develops and distributes an array of technical information and unique promotional materials via our member-driven marketing program.  We encourage you to browse through the pages of this website and discover why Eastern White Pine is the very best choice when wood is considered, both environmentally sustainable and application versatile.
